Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups ground flax seeds
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.25 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts, pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, honey, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
Stir in the rolled oats and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers look just set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these wholesome Flax Seed Honey Cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or a cold glass of milk!
